You may organize objectives in a hierarchy to signal which objectives are supporting parent objectives directly. These will be automatically listed in the section Supporting Objectives. Note that a hierarchy is very strict since there is only one parent to an objective. This technique can help to structure a high-level objective to make it even more tangible by objectives that are aspected of that objective. An objective's parent may be another objective (probably defined at a higher level), a strategic theme (if there is no objective on a higher level to connect to), or a key result (if a key result at a higher level inspires the team to define a new objective). In case the connection to objectives, themes, or key results of another level is made, you probably need to replace the Parent Property Macro with a link to the respective instance this objective is connected to. | Note Box |

| The Parent Property Macro is installed per default so that users adding objectives have an automatic link to the corresponding objective or theme. In case of a key result this is merely informative since you would not typically add objetive documents as children to key result documents. The parent relationship is a logical, not a physical one. |
